So it was one such day that nothing went right for me. when i came home about to burst into tears, my mom took this out of fridge and gave me.For just a moment i was'nt aware of anything else. There started my love for this sweet. I dono whether it was my mom's love which added an extra flavour to this sweet that i dont like to eat ones made in sweet shops.For the happy ending those tears fail to come..Now for the recipe..:)
